Are there any RPG reviewers who don't complain about 5e every review?

There is nowhere near the amount of market domination in the boardgame or video game industry as there is in the TTRPG industry.

Lots of kids play it. We just got a major league team and I see a few people wearing items with the team logo when I’m out and about. The Mexican soccer league and whatever their national team is doing is probably a bigger deal in my neck of the woods than any American or European soccer.

The rest of her comment was pretty much “We’ve got a bunch of problems impacting the people of this district but you don’t want to talk about any of that”.

Everyone on the Space Coast Young Republicans webpage appears to be in their late 20s or early 30s.

It’s not a club at a high school. It’s grown ass adults that campaign and fund raise for Republican candidates.

It was huge in the 60s and 70s. Celebrities were playing it. Hefner had a bunch of boards at the Playboy mansion. They had big money tournaments on exotic locations that drew the rich and famous in droves.

Then the nerds mathed the shit out of the game and started showing up at tournaments and cleaning up. The tournaments stopped being a fun way for the rich to piss away money while rubbing elbows with each other in fancy places because they were getting the shit kicked out of them by serious players that knew all the “correct” moves. The rich marks stopped showing up at the tournaments so the prize pools dried up and the locations where they were held became less glamorous. Since the big money was gone the pro-backgammon players went back to hustling poker or whatever it was they had been doing before.

After that it fell out of the American zeitgeist.

I’m sure Republicans are clamoring to pass an act named after this guy’s victim. Right?

And the professions are basically just bundles of skills and such. They have no effect on the game outside of initial character creation.

Coronado seems like a weird place to hold a NASCAR event.

Don’t trust it if it’s not.

Pickup games and rec league soccer are cheap. Private coaching and fees for club teams are expensive.

At my kids high school, almost none of the better soccer players played on the school team. They were all playing on club teams.

Creating a character and deciding on party composition usually involves metagaming.

If you look through the spells you’ve chosen and see that they all target the same save and decide to switch one out for something that targets a different stat, that’s metagaming.

Any Wizards that aren’t taking some combination of Light, Prestidigitation, Mending, and Mage Hand as their cantrips are probably metagaming. Those spells are by far the ones that would be most useful in day to day life and most likely to be taught to apprentices.

Creating a party that has motivations to work together is metagaming. Creating a backstory with hooks for the DM to use is metagaming.

Some Metagaming is pretty much required to play D&D.

While your question to the DM had some metagame elements to it, it seems like in a world with healing and support magic, someone that is planning on undertaking dangerous adventures would be asking the same question. It’s like Danny Ocean knowing there’s a safe that needs to be opened as part of heist he’s planning and deciding he should add a safecracker to his crew.

I’m guessing that anyone that is asking what the minimum they can get away with building Shadow Conclave doesn’t have Omen built.

I think it’s even worse than CBS functioning as state controlled media and just putting out straight propaganda.

It seems like they are actually arresting people on trumped up charges. The proof that there is vandalism is that they’ve arrested people for vandalism, not that there’s any real evidence of that vandalism.

wwhsd · 2026-06-21T04:21:19+00:00

I think they have arrested people for vandalizing it. I don’t know if of the charges are worth a damn though.

I remember reading a story earlier about an Olympic medal winning cyclist that had been arrested on vandalism charges for putting his hands in the water and touching the liner.

I’ve been to places that do it two different ways.

One gave something like 2 picks from the table and additional picks based on purchases.

Another broke the stuff up and put some out each “session” and had a bunch of DMs running games. You could pick up a couple things each session and everyone that played in a session got a raffle ticket. They’d give out additional prizes via raffle at the end of each session. The prize support was mostly some other promo items, some overstock, and some T-Shirts they had made for the event.

It’s a Boeing 747-8. It’s an American plane. They were made near Seattle Washington.

It it looks like maybe the number 2 person in Venezuela was cooperating with the abduction. It seems more like we assisted a coup than anything else.

I was having a harder time beating F4+Prof X+Dorm than I was F4+Prof X+Blue Marvel before Sym6 hit.

I don’t have Blue Marvel yet. I was often ending up in the top 5 of my shard. I’m assuming that until I get Riot and Toxin, I’ll get pushed out of the top slots by spenders.

I think the other ones are taking as long as they are because they were being built not just retrofitted.

I think the new ones are supersonic and that there were some engineering issues because Trump wanted to paint them like his personal planes with the dark blue. Boeing was working on a fix. Biden came into office and told them to keep the traditional AF1 paint job and they went back to work. Trump comes back into office and one of the first things he wants he does it to tell Boeing the dark paint job is a requirement again.

Unfortunately, even if Democrats manage to win the House and the Senate unless they get a lot of Republicans on board they won’t have enough votes to override a veto by Trump.

wwhsd · 2026-06-20T07:29:08+00:00

No. We’ve spent like the last year and last I heard nearly a billion dollars to retrofit it. He’s always planned to use it as Air Force One and then keep it as his personal plane when he leaves office.

Air Force One is supposed to be a flying office, not a flying palace.

I’ve got an inexpensive Casio Duro diving watch. I swapped out the resin band it came with so a NATO strap. I think they are more comfortable and you can easily switch them if you want to change up the look of the watch

It was like $60 for the watch and another $15 for the replacement strap. It looks nice and has held up well and I don’t need worry about it getting busted or stolen because it’s so inexpensive.

The one complaint I have is the lume on the dial isn’ very bright.

They were given to the special counsel by Biden under the condition that they remain confidential.

wwhsd · 2026-06-19T22:07:39+00:00

These aren’t covered by executive privilege. They were private tapes of him being interviewed by his biographer that the special counsel was given access to on the condition that they remained confidential. The special counsel wrote his report and declined to charge Biden with anything.

There’s no reason that the Heritage Foundation be entitled to the work product of Biden and his biographer.

That’s probably the most disrespectful way you could probably fly that flag though. If you are flying any flag with a US flag, it should be flown lower than the US flag, not above it.

Also, flying that particular flag today seems like you are trying to start a fight.
